ORCHARD FRUITS 49 



of commercial orchardists. See Mr. Powell's article 

 on page 59. 



Among the hundreds of varieties it is difficult to 

 select a list that will suit all conditions and require- 

 ments. The following sorts are well adapted for 

 home use and local markets and many of them are 

 general market favorites. They cover the whole 

 season. 



Early — Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest, 

 Primate, Early Joe, Red Astrachan, Oldenburg, 

 Chenango, Sweet Bough, Gravenstein, and Porter. 

 These cover the season in the latitude of central 

 New York, from about the middle of July until the 

 middle of September. They furnish a considerable 

 choice of flavors from rather acid to deliciously 

 sweet. For home use at least one tree of each 

 should be in every good-sized orchard. 



Autumn — Maiden Blush, Fameuse, Fall Pippin, 

 St. Lawrence, Wealthy, and Hawley. These carry 

 on the season well from mid-September until mid- 

 November. 



Winter — Mackintosh, Jonathan, Hubbardston, 

 Grimes Golden, Tompkins King, Wagener, Bald- 

 win, Yellow Bellflower, Tolman Sweet, Northern 

 Spy, and Roxbury Russet will furnish a succession 

 from mid-November until May, or even June, with 

 good storage, as described on another page. 



Farther south, Yellow Transparent, Red Astra- 

 chan, Benoni, Oldenburg, Gravenstein, Haas, 

 Maiden Blush, Rambo, Pecks Pleasant, Smith 

 Cider, Hubbardston, Grimes Golden, Jonathan, and 

 Winesap will furnish a good succession for the 

 apple season. 



In the northwest, Yellow Transparent, Tetofski, 

 Oldenburg, Fameuse, Wealthy, and Golden Russet 

 are recommended.
